Re: Tony and OTA
The tone. Bruce knew it almost too well. That was a tone of irritation and the drinks weren't helping this situation at all. In fact, that would only serve to escalate the problem. But Bruce could be patient. This wasnt the first time that the scientist had seen this side of Tony, and if anyone could deal with that brute attitude it was Bruce.
"I want to know if you're alright. We are friends, remember? We have been for a long time." Bruce said, keeping his eyes focused on his friend. Tony wasnt going to push him away like he did everyone else.
"Why does it matter that your wife left?" Bruce inquired, before it added up. "Are you fighting?" That wasn't good at all. EB was prone to outbreaks and even if sadness was the trigger no good could come from a fight. "She's your wife. If she's upset you should be the one consoling her." Bruce was being patient, and trying to help but that only went as far as the other person allowed.
